Creating the Wing
Introduction
In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to add a wing to your model and match this component to the top view planform from the aircraft drawing. Topics include adding wing sections, adjusting section parameters, and using Smart Input fields.
Shaping the Fuselage
Introduction
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to continue shaping the fuselage using the side view of the aircraft drawing. Topics include adding cross-sections at inflection points and using skinning to conform to the drawing.
Creating the Fuselage
Introduction
In this tutorial we will cover how to begin adding components to your model, beginning with the fuselage. We will also demonstrate the basics of using cross-section placement and skinning to begin to shape the fuselage to match the three-view drawing.
Adding a Background Image
Introduction
In this tutorial we will discuss how to add a background image from an aircraft information resource to the VSP workspace. This is very useful for laying up your model to match an existing aircraft or vehicle.
